RESOLUME → PANGOLIN BEYOND
LaserBridge is a Resolume effect that turns a clip’s own pixels into BEYOND laser frames — live, every frame. No separate laser timeline. Nothing to re-cue. Zero drift, by construction.

The idea
Every other workflow keeps a laser timeline next to the video and hopes they stay in step. LaserBridge reads the frame the clip actually rendered and traces the laser from it — so the two can never disagree.
A real session — LaserBridge riding clips across the deck
Eight modes
Each mode is a different relationship between the picture and the beam — from faithful outline tracing to effects where the laser drives the video.
The laser continuously redraws your artwork’s outlines as it moves. Logos, text, shapes — live.
the workhorseTrue hot beams race along the outlines with comet tails. Constant brightness at any beam count.
the haze modeA beam erases the clip off the wall — or draws it into existence. Laser and video locked to one edge.
the signatureOutlines drawn only inside scrolling bands. A rhythmic, scanner-style read of the same artwork.
cheap on pointsA wandering laser circle; the video exists only inside it, cooling to black where it just left.
searchlightPulsed bolts blast the covering off a clip, hit by hit, energy ripples included — then the rest floods away.
the openerThe beam outlines each shape in turn — and the instant a trace closes, that shape stands revealed.

How it works
Add LaserBridge like any video effect (after Auto Mask if you key). Tick a mode, tick Arm Laser, pick a BEYOND zone.
Grid mode puts the same calibration pattern on the video and the laser. Warp the zone in BEYOND until they match — every clip lands aligned forever after.
The laser follows Resolume’s triggering — fire, X, clear, layers, columns. Map Fire Sweep to MIDI and burn graphics off the wall on cue.
Built for shows
LaserBridge only sends frames to a projection zone. It never touches BEYOND’s arming, blackout, or safety settings — your exclusion zones and kill switches work exactly as before.
A beam parked on one spot gets faded out automatically within seconds — protection for LED walls and long dwells — and recovers the instant content moves again.
License expired? BEYOND closed? Webserver off? The video keeps playing untouched, every time. Failure only ever means “no laser” — never a dark screen.
Licensing verifies a signed file on disk — the plugin itself never touches the network. A sealed show machine keeps working for weeks between check-ins.
Pricing

COMING LATER — effect packs: new modes as small add-ons to your existing license. No reinstall, no new key.
Trial
No hardware yet? Design entire shows against the BEYOND visualizer — this is the demo doing exactly that
You can’t judge a laser tool with the laser off. The trial is the full plugin driving your actual rig for a limited time — build with it, play a show with it, then buy when it’s earned its place.
